Needs Assessment

Goals

Develop a plan to analyze the organizational dynamics to
increase the effectiveness and efficiency of all
employees;

Analyze data and develop recommendations that will
ensure mastery of human resources to cope with changing
demands.

Methodology

A percentage of the employee population is randomly
selected and one-on-one interviews are conducted.

Another way to obtain information is to facilitate a
focus group where key issues are discussed.

The employee population outside the state may receive a
questionnaire to complete and return to DMR to conserve
cost.

Information from all the interviews and questionnaires is
tabulted at a joint meeting by the consultant team.

Recommendations

One valuable reward of having face to face interviews is
that it allows for personal observations and feedback to
the consulting team. All of the results are compiled in a
report and a feedback meeting is conducted with the
client. The feedback data explains the strengths and
barriers to success as seen by the work force. The
recommendations focus on development of the management
team and employees.
